North East network announced to promote People Engagement.

Engagement specialists, 3P and People Gauge today announced the launch of Engage North East, a collaborative network led by the two businesses to bring the Engage for Success movement to North East England.

By working in partnership the two companies will combine their skills, experience and networks to bring together and educate businesses to build engaged, productive and aligned workforces and to foster cross-sector collaboration and best practice-sharing across North East England.

Engage for Success is a voluntary movement which was launched by former Prime Minister David Cameron in 2011 with sponsorship from senior chief executives across the private and public sector, specifically to raise awareness and understanding of engagement in the workplace.

3P and People Gauge are both Regional Ambassadors for Engage for Success in North East England.

Gateshead-based 3P (Peak Performance Partnership Ltd) is a business performance consultancy that specialises in talent management, helping businesses to grow their people, grow their talent and grow their business through their life-cycle talent management solution, ASPIRE. Established in 2013, the 3P team have a combined experience of over 100 years of improving business performance in blue chip companies.

Managing Director, Lindsay McGhie, endorses the link between high levels of employee engagement and organisational performance, as referenced in Engage for Success’ Nailing the Evidence report (2012); the report also states only a third of UK employees say they are actively engaged at work and it is estimated that 20 million UK workers are not delivering their full capability or realising their potential at work.

People Gauge Ltd, a provider of a software solution which supplies employers with clear insight into the engagement levels of their workforce, interpreting the fundamental underlying principles of Maslow’s basic Hierarchy of Needs. This in turn identifies and highlights areas that employers can focus on in order to proactively monitor and improve the engagement levels of their people, which will in turn improve their overall level of performance. Also based in Gateshead, People Gauge was established in 2010 by employee engagement specialist, HR Director and Former NECC President Maggie Pavlou. Maggie says “Actively engaged employees are more motivated, more effective and more productive in whatever they are doing, which inevitably produces better results for the business or organisation in which they operate.”

Both businesses are looking forward to working in partnership on the Engage North East network which will be launched at a free open event on Tuesday 6th December.
